Methods used to isolate TEX and detect their biomarkers in personalized medicine. Step 1—collect patient biofluid sample such as saliva, urine, or blood. Step 2—isolate exosomes from these samples via a variety of methods. Step 3—detect TEX with varying methods such as mass spectrometry, ELISAs, or western blots for proteins, PCR or RNAseq for RNA, and multiplexed microarrays all of which are isolation-dependent. The pairing of techniques can be key for the optimization of biomarker detection. Images were created with Biorender.com and Adobe Photoshop
